TV dinner? Hardly! On Thursday, March 8, Marlow’s Tavern Brookhaven guests may, however, spot the crew from “Atlanta Eats” filming a “Marlow’s Tell-All” kitchen inspiration segment at the neighborly restaurant and watering hole. The crew will film executive chef, CEO and co-founder John C. Metz cooking three dishes in the kitchen from 2-3 p.m. then move on to craft cocktails at the bar before capturing chef interviews about dishes and drinks and wrapping up the photo session at 7:30 p.m. Those in attendance won't go home hungry. Marlow's will provide complimentary snacks to those who are there. Score!
Kevin Gillespie often refers to his Georgia
upbringing, affection for rustic dishes with Southern roots and his passion for
pork. On CNN International’s new “Culinary
Journeys” series, the Atlanta-based chef, restaurateur and cookbook
author divulges that an interest in Brazilian churrascaria-style dining led to
his creation of Gunshow
in 2013. Gillespie follows his affection for open-flame grilling to Buenos
Aires, Argentina to explore the asado grilling method, and we can all follow
along when his meat-packed 30-minute episode airs in July. Take a seat and buckle
in for a tantalizing trip, whether you’re an early bird or night owl, and catch
the show Friday, July 3 at 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 4 at 3:30
p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; or Tuesday, July 7 at 5:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. Four options
for those having difficulty separating from their mini, meaty vacation with
Gillespie: move fast and place an order by July 1 for a Terminus City Fourth of
July barbecue pack (terminuscity@gunshowatl.com or 404-380-1886),
make dinner reservations at Gunshow, plan to dine at Revival
-- his newest restaurant opening in Decatur later this summer, or read ”Pure Pork Awesomeness” to bone up on your pork
panache.
Does anyone ever say, “Sure wish there were more hours to enjoy Monday?” Precisely. Monday tends to drag on the heels of its boisterous weekend siblings. Max’s Wine Dive, the Midtown restaurant and wine bar that pairs casual foods and fine wines, is out to drag the mundane weekday down a different path by teaming up with Atlanta’s best drag queens for “Monday’s a Drag” viewing parties featuring a classic drag movie or TV show each Monday from 6-10 p.m. Campy food and drink specials, such as $8 mixed berry sangria, $5 hibiscus Bellinis or $5 glasses of wine, will vary weekly and always raise spirits. Chef Patric Bell baked pink champagne cupcakes for the first “Monday’s a Drag” party -- who knows what delicacies he’ll “drag” out next. During the 6-10 p.m. timeframe, 10 percent of all food and drink sales will go to Lost-n-Found Youth, Atlanta’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to taking homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth off the streets and placing them into more permanent housing. Lost-n-Found Youth advocates and serves youth from 13-25 years of age. Stay tuned for what’s on the screen and more on Facebook or at #MondaysADrag. Save a seat on Max’s reservation page or by calling 404-249-0445.
